Giau Pass & mont. Rota (Dobbiaco) - Italy
Hi friends,
I did my first week end dedicated to slope soaring for this year.
The location is Dolomiti
I'm glad to post some pics.
Day 1 - Giau pass - 2.236 mt - 10.30 am

Very nice pictures Alessandro - thanks for sharing! What are the gliders in the pictures - Day one looks like a Great Planes 2m Fling, day two looks like an ASW28 with the red tips and winglets, but what are you flying there? Also, where do you land on day two, after you've launched over the Armco barrier - surely not on the road?
Certainly your flying sites are awesome - far better than we have at home here.
Thanks again
Glen

GlenGlider,
you are right: I have flown the 2mt flying from GP; the asw28 is a standard flyfly; the other one is an old italian kit from Eurokit.
this one is the Arizona 2000, with a 2.5 mt of ws, and only rudder and elevator.
but as you can see, it flies beautifully.
now i'm building a new set of wings because the ones on the pics are 15 years old, and the surface ios not so smoooth.
Moreover I have a set of wings a little smaller with ailerons.
I hope to heve them finished as soon as possible.
Bye
Alessandro
